2018 THOMPSON ESTATE THE SPECIALIST CABERNET SAUVIGNON, MARGARET RIVER

- WINEMAKER Paul Dixon

$90 / 2050

Bright crimson purple; the colour is indicative of the great vintage, but that’s just the start. This is a perfect rendition of cabernet sauvignon a la Margaret River, with a full-bodied well of cassis/blackcurra­nt, tapenade and powerful – but appropriat­e and not grippy – tannins that underwrite the long-term future of this great cabernet. JH 14.5% alc.
